We Accept Dental Insurance
In our office, we offer high-quality care and payment options that work for all of our patients. We provide dental services to many patients. Some have dental benefits, but many do not. If you have dental benefits, congratulations! You are very fortunate. Please remember that your dental benefits are based upon a contract between you and your insurance carrier. If you have any questions regarding your dental benefits, please contact your employer or insurance company directly. Dental benefit plans will never pay for the completion of your dental care. They are only meant to assist you.
It is your responsibility to provide all necessary insurance eligibility, identification, authorization, and referral information and to notify our office of any information changes when they occur. We also require a photo ID when accepting insurance information. It is the patient’s responsibility to know our office is participating or non-participating with their insurance plan. Failure to provide all required information may necessitate patient payment for all charges. We estimate your portion based on the most up-to-date information we have, but it is ONLY AN ESTIMATE. If you would like to know your insurance benefit, we will be happy to file a “pre-treatment authorization.” This may delay treatment but will give you a better idea of your out-of-pocket investment. Ultimately, you are responsible for all charges incurred in our office.
Affordable Payment Options
For your convenience we accept Cash, Check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Financing, and CareCredit. We deliver the finest care at the most reasonable cost to our patients; therefore, payment is due at the time service is rendered unless other arrangements have been made in advance. Being sensitive to the fact that people have different needs in fulfilling their financial obligations, we would like to provide you with a choice of several payment options including:
- Payment in full prior to the start of treatment with a 5% courtesy discount.
- Two payments, with first payment prior to treatment and next at time of service
- Three payments for lab work—one at time of scheduling, one at first appointment, last at cementation
- Monthly payments through third-party financing
Our Financial Policy
At our practice, we believe that you deserve the best care, as well as a clear understanding of your financial responsibilities in achieving that care. Dental treatment is an excellent investment in an individual’s medical and psychological well-being. Financial considerations should not be an obstacle to obtaining this important health service. Our goal is to keep the lines of communication open regarding our financial policy. If you have questions regarding your account, please contact our office. Many times, a simple telephone call will clear any misunderstandings.
We will send you a monthly statement. Most insurance companies will respond within four to six weeks. Please call our office if your statement does not reflect your insurance payment within that time frame. Any remaining balance after your insurance has paid is your responsibility. Your prompt remittance is appreciated. We can make arrangements for a monthly payment plan, but this must be done prior to the actual procedure.
